"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

I don't care what we call them. I don't care that they call us TTUN or whatever. People need to lighten up about these things that don't really matter. Are we going to magically start beating them now that Harbaugh calls them Ohio State? I'm not going to get up in arms if Harbaugh calls them "the school that lies about running back coaches" as long as we beat them.

It makes Debord seem like an ass but you've got to be ready for the games with uptempo offenses and staying on the field. You've got to build an endurance rather than babying them or you're not going to play well when you're tired in the 4th quarter.

Our 2010 team didn't have much talent either but got much better in 2011 just by being in position. I expect the same kind of improvement in offense as we had in the defense with this coaching staff. I don't expect us to be blowing people off the ball but I think you can start to see some more big run plays and less interceptions. We can make a big improvement if we do those two things.

When we won the big ten in basketball the first time the analysts picked us to finish at the bottom of the big ten due to the previous year being bad and losing DeShawn Sims and Manny Harris. Bottom line is you've got to see a few games first to know what you've got.

People are always overly cautious during a coaching change if you look at our last transition. When you have Harbaugh, a bunch of games bungled away last year by the coach, a majority of our players returning for the first time in years, and MSU and Ohio both at home, you're bound to be a little undervalued.

In basketball we've had the success and our recruiting has gotten worse from the days of us getting Mitch McGary or Derrick Walton. In football, we did fine last year recruiting with a coach on the hot seat. Butch Jones, James Franklin, Charlie Strong, and Brady Hoke had great first year classes. Why can Harbaugh not after being on tv late in the NFL playoffs for the last 4 years?

You need players too to win as well as coach. I'm sick and tired of recruits we have been in on in basketball spurning us to go to Kentucky and Duke and those schools winning championships. If the same thing happens in football as our miss rate has been higher than I can ever remember at Michigan for this class, they'll wind up at places like Alabama, Florida State, and of course Ohio State. Guess which teams were in the playoffs this year? Guess which teams have won the last three championships? Even your poster child for recruiting not mattering in MSU has a losing record to Ohio State and has never played in a NCG. Lets cut the bs and realize we need the best players coming in to win.

What's happening with recruiting that we're getting whipped like this? We had three highly regarded TEs in three classes with a defensive line coach in Hoke and now that we have a highly successful NFL coach at that position we have nobody at the TE position who wants to play here.

Are we now the big ten big ten network facebook page who posts something about Urban Meyer and Ohio State every day? So far this week, they've posted about a butter statue of Urban, a dummy prank, Cardale Jones tossing a boy into a pool, is Urban Meyer the best coach in college today, and breaking down reigning national champion Ohio State's qb options.

Agreed. Hopefully we can still get Bridges if he wanted to go here. Hopefully we don't get too complacent as other big ten teams are starting to get better recruits and lose our foothold in the league.
